3D Printing Microfactory to Come to the UAE

Last month, GE Additive signed a 3D printing research Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), and last week the company signed another MoU in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with the Dubai Future Foundation (located in Dubai’s 3D printed office building) and Abu Dhabi-based Mubadala Development Company. In an effort to speed up customer innovation, digital manufacturing technologies, groundbreaking additive design, and access to global problem solving in the UAE, the three will work together to establish the region’s first microfactory; it will also be GE’s first additive microfactory with a partner that’s outside the US.
